good kid, m.A.A.d city
Kendrick Lamar
The music is creative, the rapping is smooth and laid back. lyrics are artistic, songs are not radio style at all. the vocals are not good-sounding, very nasal, but it's got meaning rather than glitz. good kid is great. poetic justice is very good. swimming pools and now I get it

Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere
Neil Young & Crazy Horse
Classic late 1960's rock. Country tinge ontop of the distorted guitars, followed by folk-inspired acoustic.

Clandestino
Manu Chao
What a cool sound! For me, this is a new mix of hiphop and what feels like Cuban or South American guitars and beats.

C'est Chic
CHIC
Funk and disco together, with a fantastic bass throughout. Disco has a bad name, though each instrument in these songs when taken alone is really impressive.

Reggatta De Blanc
The Police
Echos and effects, reggae mixed with post-punk and some pop. 80’s style hybrid with great drumming, singing, and guitar work. Excellent rhythm parts, fun bounce. Numerous songs also on their greatest hits completion Every Breath You Take: The Singles a few years later.

Eclectic...something I had never heard of before. Purposefully weird and creative for the sake of being creative; I liked it more than I expected to for that creativity. That said, I wouldn't share it or listen to it for enjoyment. It feels like a running SNL gag making fun of this sort music, but it's actually better than that description. Go in expecting silliness.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
David Bowie
Love this album. awesome bass, great catchy songs, heart wrenching vocals. multiple top songs showing why Bowie was such a star.

Amnesiac
Radiohead
A masterpiece with electronic and rock themes, which is amazingly made up of what almost counts as the B-sides from Kid-A. Recorded during the same sessions, these songs didn't have the same radio play as prior albums, which hurt the album's popularity. But the creativity and musicianship is top-notch. Radiohead choosing to branch out from 90's alt-rock and experimenting like there do here is why they rank as a top band of all time.

Iron Maiden
Iron Maiden
classic earlier metal, with vocals that are almost half punk in style. great musicianship, though I'm not a huge Iron Maiden fan due to the clash between the guitar style and the vocals.

Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
PJ Harvey
Pretty good alt rock album, with vocals that are possibly too pretty for the style at that time. Compared to acts like hole, the grunge is missing from what otherwise feels like grunge.

Some excellent songs, but more country than I prefer. I was more of a Doors and Beatles fan. A very important album for rock and roll in any case.
